Hi there,

I have a jailbroken K4.

I can only ssh in over wifi if the local machine is on my 2.4ghz network same as my kindle (remote host machine).

If my local machine is on my 5g network (most of them are) I cannot ssh in over wifi.

I assume this is because, in order to stop the "kindle not authorized as a test Kindle", I've blocked the kindle from internet access in my router settings.

Can I please ask:

(1) Is that right? Does blocking network access block "crossover" of ssh between 5g and 2.4g networks?

(2) Is there anything other than BBB (which doesn't do anything to stop the "not authorized as a test Kindle" issue) that can be used to stop my K4 phoning home?
